Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the process for a wife to transfer an unsecured loan receivable by her deceased husband into her name. It clarifies that while the loan can be transferred, any interest paid by the wife will be considered a personal expense and won't be deductible under the IT Act. The repayment of the loan will reduce her capital, but she has not received any capital from her husband in this context.

24 December 2022 Interest paid by her will be her personal expenses, while loan repayment would reduce her capital to that extent. She cannot get any deduction under IT act.
